Research progress on the antifungal mechanisms of antimicrobial peptides and its clinical applications / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

In this review, the structure and biological characteristics of antimicrobial peptides were described, and the anti-fungal mechanisms related to membrane damage and non-membrane damage was discussed. The prospective clinical applications of antimicrobial peptides were introduced. Thus, the theoretical basis for the in-depth research on the anti-fungal mechanisms of antimicrobial peptides and the clinical development and application is provided.
